A new animated short giving more backround story on Sony/Ninja Theory's upcoming PS3 title Heavenly Sword has just hit the web.The video, titled Heavenly Sword Part I- The Legend of the Sword, gives us a little more backgrou...

It was but a few scant days ago when Team Ninja's Tomonobu Itagaki was mouthing off about how Tekken 6 sucks and yet he's already back on the diss-wagon, slandering yet another game he hasn't played yet. Next up on the choppi...

I've always had a thing for redheads, but this particular one is really special. It's just a shame that I haven't had the chance to get to know her that well.

I first saw her at an industry event in 2006 -- I was there for work. This leggy redhead was across the room from me, and I think she batted her eyes at me. I tried to move towards her, but there were too many people in the way. We finally met, made contact for a very short time, and then I was swept up with work and had to leave. I've been thinking about her ever since.

We got another chance to meet last month, but our time together was very short. She's still as beautiful as ever, and she's easily as accessible as when we first met, but now she seems a bit more classy. She's that headstrong, 'take charge' kind of girl that I think I need in my life. I think we're going to seriously start seeing each other next month. We have a date on September 12th. I hope she doesn't stand me up.

I think this is the one, guys. If you didn't get any of that: The PS3 exclusive, Ninja Theory developed Heavenly Sword will hit retail shelves on September 12th.

Ninja Theory, the developer behind one of the PS3's biggest showcase titles, was not always known by that name. Several years ago they were actually Just Add Monsters, but with only one Xbox title, Kung Fu Chaos, under their ...

Big fat action games are my bread and butter and there's no denying that Heavenly Sword is looking like it'll be the biggest and fattest thus far in this fledgling generation. It contains the only three things I like in life ...

Earlier this week we told you that we thought we'd see Ninja Theory's Heavenly Sword demo hit the North American PlayStation Network very soon. Guess what? It's up now, and available for downloading. The demo weighs in a...

While certainly not news, I thought this would be of interest to those readers who can't wait to get their filthy hands on the Heavenly Sword demo hitting the PlayStation network tomorrow. If anyone thought this game was a simple button masher they've got another thing coming -- the complexity and range of attacks available may be a little intimidating to memorize. Hope you've been playing Brain Age!

Destructoid has just received a set the world's most blurry photos leaking all of the menus as well as as most of the game's control schematics. Alternating power and defense stances aside, the most peculiar thing about the button configuration is the ommission of a block button. There isn't one. Instead, Ninja Theory was smart enough to make Nariko put up her guard if you're standing still. Can someone send that memo to Kratos?

Other interesting features include physically shaking the Sixaxis controller when performing aerial combos and unlockable power moves called "Superstyles" -- instant death techniques which are rewarded for stylish gameplay (You build up HUD style meter by counterattacking instead of blocking). The naming convention of these attacks is also notable: While I doubt that the Flying Redemption will ever be as catchy as the Shoryuken, I can't wait to unleash some Swirling Cruelty on Andy Serkis.

We know for sure that the UK version of the PlayStation Network will update on July 26th with a downloadable demo of the upcoming Ninja Theory title Heavenly Sword, but there hasn't been much in the way of an official wor...

So I don't know what you guys were doing last Thursday, but I was playing Heavenly Sword in a dimly lit Sony arcade, tucked beneath Santa Monica's Le Merigot hotel. Jealous much? Would it make you feel any better if I...

Aside from the unnecessary use of the British accent by the main characters -- possibly an homage to every movie set in Ancient Greece since the beginning of time -- these brand new Heavenly Sword clips make every part of m...

Blades are cool. Women are cool. Kratos taught us that blades on chains with fiery streaks coming out are even cooler. But blades on chains plus fiery redheaded women plus screenshots that look like this? Ashes, ashes, we all...
